The fixed filter cleans 99.9999% of the bacteria that travel with the water and 99.9% of the parasites. Thanks to the drinking spout, it is easy to drink while moving. The bottle comes with a handy carabiner hook.

How it works:
Inside the LifeStraw water purifier are hollow fibers specially designed for this purpose - the so-called ultrafilter technology, which can be found e.g. from water treatment plants that clean drinking water in cities. Inside the LifeStraw filter there is a large amount of these fibers intended for filtering, which outwardly look like the undisputed king of all pastas, i.e. spaghetti, but they are actually much thinner. Each fiber has pores 0.2 microns in diameter - 500 times thinner than a human hair - and when water passes through these hollow fibers, only bacteria- and parasite-free, clean drinking water gets through the pores of the fibers. Bacteria, parasites and dirt do not enter the user's mouth with the whistle. No chemicals are used in the physics-based filtration process.
The new LifeStraw® Go is suitable for people on the go who can't stand to stay at the water's edge and just want to take it with them and continue their journey. For trips, hikes or in a big city where the tap water is questionable. Just like the original LifeStraw®, this one also filters at least 4,000 liters of drinking water.
LifeStraw® technology has been tested in independent conditions, in various laboratory and research programs. It is certified and meets all EU directives and standards (10/2011 and 1935/2004) and the Microbiological Water Purification standard according to the US EPA 1987 Protocol. Removes e.g. the following stalwarts:
Bacteria:
- Salmonella
- Campylobacter
- Coli bacteria
- Cholera
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa (rod bacteria)
- Shigella, i.e. dysentery (causes diarrhoea).
Parasites, i.e. parasites:
- Giardia lamblia, an intestinal parasite
- Cryptosporidium parvum
- Entamoeba histolytica, i.e. Gut Amoeba.
